Bozeman's the Man

It’s official. GW Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz announced yesterday that assistant coach Mike Bozeman has been promoted to head coach of the Colonials' women's basketball program. Bozeman, who has been an assistant coach at GW the past three seasons, becomes the eighth head coach in the 34-year history of the program.

"We wanted to get someone in before the recruiting process started in July, and that mission was accomplished," said Kvancz. "One person stood out amongst our group of candidates and that was our new coach – Mike Bozeman."

Bozeman said, "This is going to be a family affair and that's how we are going to do things here at George Washington...We went back-to-back Sweet 16's, 78 victories the past three years. I don't see that changing. The group we have coming back right now, I'm very passionate about and we're going to get it done."
